| iMAC G5 monitor problems
I have a iMAC G5 and the monitor has squares all over the entire monitor but you can still see the icons but they are light and behind the squares which seem to change in color. The computer works but you can hardly see the icons to do anything. Can't read any of the words. Attached are pictures of the monitor. Thank you for your help. 100_4215a.jpg 100_4218.JPG  |

Run Apple Hardware Test (FAQ section has howto). Looped, overnight. Remove any added RAM.

Other than replacing the faulty capacitors yourself and finding the right ones, that's about it. You can try and find the parts online, but it's best to go the Apple route first and see if they will still honor the replacement. Oh, and what Gia said...
